Yesterday we went to Chicago with family to visit the American Girl store for Molly and Emily's birthdays. Here's Olivia standing outside of the store front window. We had a great time making wonderful memories.

Standing in front of the Kit display. Too many choices!

Lunch time! Felicity even got a high chair.

Would you like some tea Felicity?

There was so much to see and do. Olivia can't wait to go back. Maybe this summer.

Last night we headed to Indy for a night on the town. Grammy and Allen got the kids tickets to see Toy Story on Ice for Christmas. I think it was the best Disney on Ice show we have seen yet. We were only nine rows back so they really enjoyed seeing all the characters up close. Thanks Grammy and Allen!!

Olivia's favorite part, Barbie and Ken.

Josh's favorite character Buzz.

Nate loved seeing Woody.

Of course we can't go downtown without hitting Bucas for dinner. Pizza anyone?

Today they all had the summer itch bug and decided to put on their swimsuits to sunbath in the sunroom. Of course you can't go to the beach without playing in the water. So they all went into my bathtub and made some waves. We can't wait to go to the beach! Hurry up summer!!!

After our pretend trip to the beach it was time for pajamas and dinner. Nate and Olivia did a great job putting the toppings on the pizza.

Snow Day!! We were lucky to have daddy off these last couple of days to enjoy the snow with us. This morning after breakfast he made the executive decision that today is a snow day and the Packard school was closed for today. He got the Mule out and tied the sled on the back for rides around the house. It was soooo cold (notice the runny noses) but the kids had a blast. Tonight we are going to make homemade popcorn and have a family movie night. Back to the grind tomorrow.

We took the kids to the Children's Museum today. We wanted to get them there before they took the slide down. We went after lunch so it wasn't very busy. They all had their favorite thing they wanted to do so this was the perfect time to go.
